*I’ll make it plain – in case you’re a fan of rapper Kendrick Lamar, then you should be slapped upside your head. Perhaps that’ll right your imaginative and prescient so to see him for what he really is – a pint-sized, race-baiting hypocrite.
His new track “Euphoria” is affected by quite a few flaws and contradictions. It’s a masterpiece of flagrant hypocrisy and reverse racism. Within the track, he spends 6 minutes taking a number of jabs at his rival, Drake, a Canadian-born rapper who isn’t black sufficient to be accepted in hip-hop tradition, and the black group at massive.
That’s the narrative Lamar is presenting to the general public. It’s the gist of what he raps about in Euphoria. Lamar argues that Drake’s bi-racial heritage and middle-class background disqualify him from being a authentic black man in America. It’s low-hanging fruit perpetuating a shade divide that’s been ongoing because the days of slavery.
I get it – Lamar is the sector negro, Drake is the home negro. Lamar is the nappy-haired overachiever who emerged from the mud to develop into a family identify. Drake is the “silver spoon half-breed” who isn’t invited to the cookout.
How may Drake take part on this tradition? He was birthed from the canal of a Jewish girl. He didn’t develop up in a neighborhood the place gunshots ring like doorbells.
That’s what being black is all about, proper?
Battle. Violence. Hardship.
Lamar speaks as if the black expertise is monolithic – a actuality that’s relevant solely to these with darkish pores and skin, vast noses, gang affiliations, and PTSD from childhood trauma. Nevermind the people who come from steady houses, and whose final names aren’t “Johnson,” or “Jackson.”
For these of us who know higher, the black expertise represents each shade of brown, even the fairest. It represents each financial and social class. The ignorance Lamar spews in Euphoria not solely ignores the magnitude and depth of black life, however he even has the nerve to say that Drake isn’t certified to make use of the “n-word,” as if it’s a cultural privilege.
Right here’s the irony – Lamar’s fiancée doesn’t seem to have a single drop of black blood. She’s as mild as they arrive – positively a home Negro, like Drake.
Is she black sufficient for her personal husband?
I’m wondering if Lamar voted for Barack Obama, one other half-breed who was born and raised in Hawaii. His daddy was a pale-faced white man – ought to that be a strike in opposition to Obama’s blackness?
The absurdity of Lamar’s rhetoric in Euphoria contradicts any notion that he’s “pro-black” or culturally insightful.
In truth, a case may very well be made that he’s offended at his personal pores and skin, which could be the motive he’s married to his racially ambiguous spouse. It might even be what’s fueling his animus towards Drake.
Or possibly Lamar is taking part in the race card as a result of he is aware of individuals aren’t sensible sufficient to see by means of his bullcrap. He’s taking the simple route through the use of race as a weapon – it’s a shortcut he’s selecting to control the feelings of his gullible followers.
In spite of everything, Drake’s soiled laundry is already out on the road – in Euphoria, Lamar merely regurgitates outdated rumors and scandals. He doesn’t reveal a single skeleton deserving of the eye and reward Euphoria is receiving. Lamar doubles down on Drake’s “lack of blackness” as a result of he’s lacking the mandatory dust to completely bury Drake’s status and recognition.
Furthermore, Lamar’s assertion that Drake is a fraud and a tradition, reeks of hypocrisy in case you think about that Lamar idolizes Tupac, a slain rapper and West Coast adoptee who was killed practically 30 years in the past for being a make-believe gangster.
It’s easy – Lamar is the true fraud, masquerading as a crusader for black empowerment.
Euphoria is meant to be a diss monitor, but it surely’s actually an ode to Lamar’s hypocrisy and colorism. Simply saying.
